Menopause takes place after your last ovulation and marks the end of your fertile period. The symptoms may continue anywhere from four to five years, but it may decrease in frequency and intensity.

 Some women's symptoms may last longer. The most common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, cold flashes, vaginal changes, emotional changes and trouble sleeping.
